Blocked Drains

Our specialists resolve domestic and commercial blocked drains using high-pressure water jetting and advanced techniques. With 24/7 emergency response, we address urgent issues like overflowing manholes and sewer blockages. Regular maintenance prevents recurring problems caused by tree roots, collapsed pipes, or grease build-up in commercial kitchens.

Pipe Relining

This innovative solution creates a 'pipe within a pipe' to repair damaged drainage systems without excavation. We install durable liners in pipework ranging from 100mm to 600mm diameter, restoring structural integrity at lower costs than full replacement. Ideal for commercial properties with aging infrastructure or difficult access points.

Drain Excavation

When relining isn't viable, our engineers perform precision excavations to repair severely damaged drains. We conduct thorough safety assessments before carefully exposing problematic areas, repairing with minimal disruption to surrounding infrastructure. This method addresses issues like subsidence, root intrusion, or century-old pipe collapse.

Waste Management

We provide comprehensive waste management solutions including septic tank emptying, sewage disposal, and oily water treatment. Our services comply with environmental regulations while maintaining hygiene standards for domestic properties and commercial facilities like catering establishments across the Midlands and North of England.

Drain Surveys

Using miniature cameras, we conduct detailed drain surveys to diagnose blockages and structural issues. This non-invasive method identifies problems like cracks, root ingress, or misaligned joints, enabling targeted repairs. Surveys form the basis of maintenance programs for commercial clients seeking to prevent costly emergencies.

Quick service - it took not more than 10mins to unblock the drain. This would have been 5 stars except for the fact that it cost 102! When I booked I was told it was 95 per hour+VAT. What I wasnt told at the outset was that this would be charged regardless of how long it took. So for anybody using these guys in the future beware! I am sure there are others out there that are more transparent.

Cannot recommend enough.
Paul and Jake came out twice this week to multiple issues we were facing, and they were brilliant. They were very polite and friendly, and with the enthusiasm they gave for clearing drains, you’d think they were digging for gold! All issues were resolved. Both are absolute credits to CDC. Thank you.
